Readable nofollows

- 7 Comments

I noticed that on Dave’s great new layout, his nofollow comment links where unreadable… This was caused by my greasemonkey script setting a pink background but not changing the text color and so forth. I’ve now changed it to do that, so I can read the name’s in the comments. So if you’re using this script, go get the new version of my nofollow-display greasemonkey script!

    The Search Status Firefox add-on also allows you to highlight Nofollow links.

    Joost, there’s an other link you can’t see right now: the image link. If you have an anchor with only an image in it that has the border set to 0 you won’t see something pink.

    As a solution I added some lines that will check for images in the anchor. And if so: it will put a 2 pixel pink border around them.

    New version (don’t know if indenting stays intact):

    (function () {

  var re = /nofollow/i;  
  var candidates = document.getElementsByTagName("a");

  for (var cand = null, i = 0; (cand = candidates[i]); i++) 
  {
    if (re.test(cand.getAttribute("rel")))
    {
      theStyle = cand.getAttribute("style");
      if(theStyle == null) { theStyle = ""; }

      theStyle += ";font-weight:normal; background-color: pink; color: #000; border: 0; text-decoration: underline;";
      cand.setAttribute("style",theStyle);
      
      var imgs = cand.getElementsByTagName("img")
      if (imgs.length > 0)
      {
        for (var j = 0; j < imgs.length; j++)
        {
          imgStyle = imgs[j].getAttribute("style");
          if(imgStyle == null) { imgStyle = ""; }
            
          imgStyle += ";border: 2px solid pink";
          imgs[j].setAttribute("style",imgStyle);
        }
      }
    }
  }

})();

    [/code]
